I have ridden parallel twins with out counter balancers of both British and Japanese designs that would shake light bulbs apart and crack metal fenders and license plates, and I've owned American bikes whose front wheels would literally hop off the ground at a stop light while idling. Certain engine designs have issues with primary balance. It's not limited to manufacture but dictated by design.
I agree Mickey. But until you have ridden a Shovelhead at length its pretty unfair to say modern Harley's are the same. As an owner of Triumph tridents and plenty of pre-evo Sportsters I know vibes. Modern Harley's are nothing compared to to the old bikes. Not even close.
